This is pretty interesting to read, thanks! I would think that Waymo employs an abundance of visual sensors that could give us an idea of what happened if they so chose to do so. Construction zones can be hard, maybe they need to own this one?

I wonder how many of these companies that choose to participate and welcome diversity, or choose to reject it, do so only for optics and economics. What does Tractor Supply actually believe about the different groups affected by this decision? Do they even care?

I could have phrased this much better, thanks for interpreting for me haha. That is exactly what I meant.

Is RCS still a Google-driven scheme? I liked using Signal and its ability for messaging high quality images but it dropped support for nonusers.

Ya. It's a pretty preliminary article, hard to say much about it.

rhythmisaprancer , 8 days ago to news in Appeals court seems lost on how Internet Archive harms publishers

You can check an eBook out, but there are examples of issues, something like the library can only do it five times or whatever. It isn't treated like an actual book. I don't know the details but there are problems with eBook rentals.

rhythmisaprancer , 9 days ago to news in Appeals court seems lost on how Internet Archive harms publishers

Digital anything is not covered by the first sale doctrine. Every individual loan is a copy

So this is basically why ebooks are problematic at libraries then? That issue alone really seems like it needs a legal update.

Last year, I attended a week long workshop about tribal relations. It was also led by people from different tribal groups. This was a big takeaway, that people in my position often "consult" with native folks by telling them what decision has been made, instead of having them a seat at the decision making table. Essentially, no consultation and definitely no sharing on decision.

Yes, but what does it mean if the USA is not a participant of the ICC? FAFO? Maybe it needs to happen.

I honestly don't know but that sounds like a good possibility 🙂

Do elves and humans intermarry? Would that be like beastiality?

Is there anything to be disappointed in Jack Smith about? Maybe. But it pales in comparison to what we have to be disappointed in Amy Aileen Cannon about. The judge is the only disappointing story here.
